Ten of the Best #5

Sorry I missed
last week, folks. You didn’t notice? Aw, well some of you did. Glad this is
becoming part of the weekend routine for some of you.

It’s where I catch up on the social media
that I didn’t have time for during the week. You know, the stuff that you didn’t
read properly, because you were in a meeting whilst on Facebook, so couldn’t give
the article your full attention. The video clips you didn’t download because
you didn’t have your earphones in. Ok, now you have time, wifi and here’s what
you missed.

1.South Africa’s dirty little secret. Robyn is passionate about our
children. She also writes beautifully. I think this is her best ever. Read it
by clicking the pic.

2.OK, I know you have all probably seen it, but I missed it, being out of
wifi range whilst in hospital. Suzelle has a new one – on surviving loadshedding.
She is very funny.

3.From Facebook - read the story
under the picture when you get there – how things are not always as they seem…

4.Why children cry - these pictures are funny. They're even funnier if you've had kids, because you know how true they are.

5.Your own virtual tour of Nkandla courtesy of Tom Eaton.

6.Here is the musical interlude for today. Raise your glass – I love P!NK. This woman is talented. I cannot believe she is singing while doing this, but even if she is only lip-syncing, this takes some practice.

7.This Whackhead prank call is quite funny – Eskom talks to E-tolls

8.Baby elephant being entertaining in the bush

9.There has been a lot of hype about Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee. This
article probably sums up best why I don’t think I shall be reading it.

10.It is a slow day in a little Greek Village... one way to understand the Greek bailout.

From my reading

"That's the catch about betrayal, of course: that it feels good, that there's something immensely pleasurable about moving from a complicated relationship which involves minor atrocities on both sides to a nice, neat, simple one where one person has done something so horrible and unforgivable that the other person is immediately absolved of all the low-grade sins of sloth, envy, gluttony, avarice and I forget the other three."

― Nora Ephron, Heartburn
